A very large group of the students did well on our test over the Reading Essential book on Japan. It added to the dept of learning.
Today we worked on our maps of Japan and the surrounding bodies of water and countries. We will have a quiz over it next Monday Oct.2 .
We will also dive into more of the history and culture of Japan.
Our own Dr. Tyson has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship and will be our ambassador to Japan starting next week.
To help us bridge across the two cultures and to deepen our understanding he has developed a podcast of our students to take with him and has already set up a website where he can post pictures and journaling during his trip. The seventh grade is so excited to have our own explorer seting off on an adventure in a country we are studying at this time.
Please use this site to keep up with his trip.

Safe trip Dr. Tyson.
